New cataract lens may sharpen computer vision without glasses
NCT ID NCT05822089
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares standard monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) with enhanced monofocal IOLs in 461 people having cataract surgery. The goal is to see if the enhanced lenses improve vision at intermediate distances, like reading a computer screen, while maintaining good distance vision. Participants will receive a different lens in each eye and be followed for several months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- intraocular lenses (standard monofocal vs. enhanced monofocal)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that enhanced monofocal lenses provide better vision at intermediate distances (like computer screens) after cataract surgery, reducing the need for glasses.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-sized trial comparing already-approved lenses, so the differences may be small. Individual results vary, and not everyone may notice a benefit.

Inclusion Criteria: * Bilateral age-related cataract planned for phacoemulsification extraction and posterior IOL implantation * Age 50 to 100 * Visual potential in both eyes of 20/25 or better as determined by investigators estimation * Normal findings in medical history and physical examination unless the investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant * Irregular Astigmatism (Acrysof IQ Vivity IOL, IC-8 Apthera IOL) * postoperativ binocular best corrected distance visual acuity (BCVA) ≥ 1.0 decimal (Arm ten (X)) * Standard cataract surgery with bilateral implantation of a monofocal IOL (Vivinex XC1 or Vivinex XY1) (Arm ten (X)) Exclusion Criteria: * Preceding intraocular surgery or ocular trauma * Relevant other ophthalmic diseases that particularly effects the zonular apparatus (such as severe pseudoexfoliation syndrome, preceding cryocoagulation, trauma) * Pupil diameter \< 2.0 mm (photopic) * Laser treatment * Uncontrolled systemic or ocular disease * Pregnancy/Nursing * childbearing ability
